ArchetypeDatsun Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 This is pretty fricken awesome! http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/releases/nissan-unveils-revolutionary-engine-to-complement-electric-zeod-rc-powerplant 1 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have been betting on how quickly certain things will go from facebook to ratsun lol, I got the under on this one. Pretty awesome engine, lets see how it performs though. The biggest part of Le Mans is endurance. Quote Link to comment
Watson Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Very cool feat of engineering! I wonder though... With three cylinders, will it sound like a Geo Metro with a turbo? I've never heard a thee cylinder engine with that high of an output. Should be interesting! Quote Link to comment
housew Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 i want to know WAY more than they gave me in that article haha. Super awesome though what fuel does it burn? is it dry sump? hows the turbo lag?...... Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe that'll power the new "510"... Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Well if there was ever an engine that would be awesome in a 510 or even a 1200... Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 That would so awesome to have that motor in a lightweight car. Probably makes next to nothing for torque though, more than likely some insanely high rpm. But yeah, not enough information in the news blurb and the pics on Nissan's site don't work. Booo!!

Kirden Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 it says in the article I think, something like 380nm (280ish ft) Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Cool Bring back the L!!! Quote Link to comment
Morrisun Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The Nissan DIG-T R produces 380 Nm of torque= 280.24 ft/lbs, that's about 4X's what my 1200 engine puts out, and it weights in at 192lbs vs 88lbs. Yes I want! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just say No! to three-cylinder engines. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 For sure need more info. Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 This is awesome Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Very possible. Say you have a 1.6 making 100 hp with today's tech.... EFI, direct injection, blah blah blah. At 14 pounds boost you're making 200 hp (assuming a few things) at 28 pounds 400hp Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 And in 40,000 miles you have a block of alumium with a twirling thing on top. 7 Quote Link to comment
Datsfrodo Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Light enough to make a twin motor datsun. One under the hood and a second in the trunk. Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Light enough to make a twin motor datsun. One under the hood and a second in the trunk. I actually wonder if they could do a side by side sort of like the w16 in the veyron. Or they could just do a straight 6. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 DEATHKART!!!! the Nissan Le Mans powered go kart :devil: 1 Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Is this going into the delta wing? Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I actually wonder if they could do a side by side sort of like the w16 in the veyron. Or they could just do a straight 6. I was about to dismiss this as defeating the purpose, but there are some neat things that can be done with side by sides, such as shutting one down in econo mode etc. I'd watch that thread. But not a garage project to say the least. That's some management work. Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 But if the tech makes a smaller v6 twin turbo? Maybe the GTR will have a little mean ass brother? or a 2 wheeled monster? Quote Link to comment

I think this is going into the delta wing. Probably really far from hitting any real production. Quote Link to comment
